The Stuttgart team, who was struggling was falling behind financially so it has been purchased by the HNS Team who is make the the move up. The team has announced it will be using the 14's owner points, but it will be renumbered to the 34. It was able to retain the Petronas sponsorship from SUMS, and will be gaining the Fly Emirates sponsorship from the HNS team. It is currently Unknown who will be driving the car.

CM Racing to run a Limited SCS Schedule in 2018CM Racing has announced that they will be running a limited SCS schedule in 2018, using support from Athenian Motorsports that was originally planned to be used for the remainder of this year, and instead keeping the team going on a limited basis in 2018. They plan to run about 8 races, giving each of their 4(currently unconfirmed) HNS drivers a chance to race in the SCS. In a throwback twist for the team, they will be using the #0, and IKEA will be on board.

Not confirmed yet the #26 of FPM still needs a driver. It could be that names like Daleo or Shelly would likely take the spot. Or it could be an outsider like Charlie Smith, or even Jeffery Lynn, who is still on the open market. It is still undecided at this point as the team will wait until at least after Darlington to make a grab for any driver to put in the 26.

Master Sport Motorsports to arrive in 2018Quite a bit is known for Master Sport's bid for the SCS 2018 season, including numbers, manufacturer and driver seats.

Alexi Mota (Alexis Mota), who is just on the brink of 22 years of age, has claimed one of three potential spots in the SCS 2018 season. Originally from Russia, she moved to the states in 2010, and has graduated from college with a Associate's Degree in car-technology. She's fixed cars out on track that seemed unrepairable to the spotter and has even had a broken car rebound from her work and win a race. That being said, she's raring and ready to go!

The other driver we've confirmed at this moment is 54 year old veteran short tracker, Wes Maret (Mere-eyy), who now races in a division of FARC. With the approach to race in a big league such as SCS, he accepted.

The third spot is yet to be claimed and Oliver Lapertinum expressed a look at a few agent drivers; including: Jeffery Lynn, Hayden Kline, Blaze McKinney, and Zachary Flickinger.

It has been announced that BFM has made a huge signing. HNS sensation Garrett Sydnor will be driving the #96 in 2018. This will also mark the first time BFM has ever signed a rookie to a FT ride. Johnson Freeman hopes this will help BFM a lot. Sydnor was going to attempt Indy for the team but the car failed to record a lap.

Scott Roush will not Participate in full time SCS competition next season. Roush released a statement saying that he wants more time in HNS, that is really what he should have done with CM Racing. Roush also said in the same statement that he hopes he can prove himself worthy of a Sony Cup Series ride with one of the top teams of the Sony Cup and that the Hardee's National Series is the best place for Roush to prove it.

Arndt: This was a personal decision from myself that thankfully everyone is ok with. My HNS season has been something that should be rejoiced. I am hoping to run a competitive season in HNS to be able to actually deserve a spot in SCS in 2019. I thank Athenian for their support of wanting to put me in the car in the first place. Now I hope for a good 2018 in HNS with a good team to deserve my position.

Since it was announced HNS standout Josh Crash would join FPM full-time in a surprising move, and Matt Daleo stepping away from FPM, the questions arose about the part-time driver. To the surprise of well not a single person, James Shelly will take over duties of the 07 as plans might have him go to HNS next season for a career resurgence. Both Finguy and Shelly are close friends on and off the track, and with Shelly qualifying for both Indy and Darlington this season, its safe to say he's joining for a part-time schedule for next season.
